are you looking for that one magic substance that can enhance each and every organ and system
of your body well unfortunately that doesn't seem to exist but one that comes pretty close
is none other than fish oil fish oil is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and numerous
studies have revealed multiple different benefits that it provides for the human body
and that is exactly what we are going to talk about in this video be sure to watch
until the end because there's one benefit that may surprise you so if you're ready let's get into it
just a quick reminder we are not doctors this video is for informational purposes only
the first major benefit of fish oil that we need to point out is that it supports a healthy heart
for almost 20 years the american heart association has recommended omega-3 fatty acids for people
with coronary heart disease the reason is studies found that epa and dha are properties found in
fish oil that can boost the health of your heart and lower your risk of a heart attack they also
have been shown to prevent blood clots reduce blood pressure and improve levels of cholesterol
and triglycerides all of which can majorly improve the health of your cardiovascular system another
major benefit is that it reduces inflammation many autoimmune diseases such as crohn's rheumatoid
arthritis psoriasis and multiple sclerosis are linked to high levels of inflammation in the body
this explains why consuming more of an anti-inflammatory such as fish oil
can have such amazing benefits on your overall health the national institutes of
health has overseen several trials of fish oil supplements for reducing inflammation
and the results were promising participants saw a decline in symptoms and didn't require as many
prescription anti-inflammatory medications another great thing about fish oil is that it helps with
weight loss studies found that omega-3 fish oil actually decreases your appetite and hunger one
experiment found that those who consume fish oil on a daily basis felt much more full between meals
than those who didn't some researchers even believe that omega-3s can boost our metabolism
recent studies found that taking fish oil over 12 weeks raised metabolic rates up to 14 which
equates to more than 185 extra calories burned in a single day fish oil also supports healthy
skin many people don't realize that our skin actually contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids if
they become depleted it can affect the health and appearance of how your skin looks not to mention
our skin health naturally declines as we age a lot of that has to do with overexposure to
sunlight and uv rays fish oil can help mitigate some of the negative effects and maintain healthy
skin over time it is also believed that fish oil helps fight depression and anxiety
i mean who doesn't want to feel calmer and happier right a study by harvard health reported that epa
and dha found in fish oil may actually be useful for preventing or treating mood disorders
scientists have long known that mental issues like depression and anxiety are much rarer in countries
where fish is a staple of the diet that is because people who eat a lot of fish are naturally
consuming more omega-3 fatty acids researchers also believe that fish oil helps improve eye
health our eyes actually rely on omega-3 fatty acids in order to function properly studies found
that those who do not consume enough omega-3s are at a greater risk of developing eye diseases such
as age-related macular degeneration more research is needed in this area but preliminary findings do
seem to be promising another benefit that we need to point out is that fish oil potentially reduces
fat in the liver as obesity rates are on the rise non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is becoming more
common and more deadly if left untreated it can lead to many different problems such as cirrhosis
of the liver liver cancer and liver failure it is believed that fish oil plays a role in decreasing
inflammation in the liver improving functionality and reducing the symptoms of fatty liver disease
fish oil also potentially improves the health of your bones and joints
as we age our bones naturally tend to lose some of their strength over time
which can lead to osteoporosis and osteoarthritis when we think of improving bone health usually
the first thing that comes to mind is calcium and vitamin d while they are definitely very important
people often forget that omega-3 fatty acids are very beneficial as well researchers believe that
those who consume more omega-3s have better bone mineral density this can help keep your bones
strong and healthy as you age fish oil has also been shown to improve brain development
epa and dha are the two omega-3 fatty acids that we've mentioned a few times already in this video
i think you can already tell how important of a role they play
in the human body this is especially true when it comes to brain functionality and development
studies found that decreased levels of omega-3 in older adults is associated with a smaller brain
size and accelerated brain aging omega-3 fatty acids are also helpful in reducing memory loss
in those with cognitive impairments as well research is limited when it comes to proving
that fish oil can improve cognitive functioning in healthy adults however it is believed that
omega-3s can promote healthier brain cells and less deterioration over time and we couldn't have
made this video without mentioning the fact that fish oil may also strengthen the immune system
our immune system works to protect the body from invading viruses and bacteria as we previously
mentioned inflammation only makes matters worse by weakening the immune system leaving
the body more vulnerable to certain pathogens unfortunately there is no evidence that directly
links fish oil to a stronger immune system the benefits actually come in an indirect way
the anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil reduces inflammation in
all parts of the body which indirectly influences the immune response this helps our white blood
cells do their job by fighting off foreign viruses and bacteria real quick guys do me a huge favor
